1. Well stated, she is doing her job! And an amazing pedigree.
r ,   Atlanta   (10.27.13)
Didn't know those things about her family. Thank you.
2. Livni desperate to make peace.Bennett desperate to avoid it.
Sam ,   Canada   (10.27.13)
Livni sounds desperate when she says Israel must have a 2 state solution.It's as if Israel will collapse if she the saviour doesn't achieve it. The odds of her achieving an acceptable solution are low so she should lower her hysteria. Bennett should understand that most Israelis would prefer peace if they could have it. While I agree the prisoner release was a dumb move to curry favour from the West and that building should go on, there shouldn't be hysteria about making peace.
3. Clearly this article is a call for Bennett's assasination
Mordechai   (10.27.13)
Clearly this article is designed to incite a supporter of Livni to try and save her life by killing Naftali Bennett. The Israeli police must immediately arrest the author for incitement and launch a full investigation if Livni herself has order Naftali's Bennett assassination. What are you suggesting that my claim is ridiculous to suggest the author criticizing Bennett could lead to murder. No more than suggesting criticism of Livni is a call to murder. Its a fact we are releasing terrorists who have killed Jews who have not agreed to never kill Jews again. Indeed they are celebrated for being terrorists and all say they will kill again. If you think its a good idea to release killers who have vowed to kill again feel free to make that argument. But don't pretend that advocated of releasing killers should be immune from criticism.
4. good to know.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.27.13)
Good to know Tsipi spits on her parents.
5. Ant-zionist, anti-religious, Tsipi!
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.27.13)
Tsipi's parents were zionists. Tsipi is anti-zionist, anti religious. Just who does she think is protecting her and the rest of the country? The giborai-Israel, the religious zionists and their children.

7. Haber = Scaremonger
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.27.13)
8. Haber = Delusional Scaremonger
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.27.13)
9. Bravo Eitan! You are courageous to stand up to hooligans.
Rafi ,   US   (10.27.13)
Shame on thugs - including hate-spouting Talkbackers.
10. incitement??
kapriza ,   tsafon   (10.27.13)
Legal civil discourse is NEVER the cause of assassination. It can only be caused / perpetrated by a sick individual who thinks that murder is the solution to whatever is the problem of the day. Stop making excuses in an attempt to stifle civil discourse!!
11. Livni incites against Bennet all the time.
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.27.13)
12. fear
john ,   toronto   (10.27.13)
If such fears exist.It is better to step down for a short time. Let a man take over the place. Of course men might fear more so they have put her to do this.
13. So what if she was an officer in the IDF
David ,   On this planet   (10.27.13)
And worked for the Mosad. Do you know what protexia is. There are plenty of good and bright men in Israel who did not make it pass being a Samal. I am not impressed with her giving Israel away. quit trying to scare people
14. All those involved in OSLO must be assassinated!
.   (10.28.13)
15. too bad the apple fell far from the tree
Rima ,   Jerusalem   (10.28.13)
What her parents did is not her. Many women who serve in the idf become officers, specificly those that train others. The fact the she was a secretary in the mossad, is just a job and does not designate her as Zionist. Peace at any cost is not peace.
16. 1..2...3...Attila Somfalvy about to appear
Tom W ,   USA   (10.28.13)
He's the official spokesperson of of the leftist Livni clan.
17. The Fake One will soon claim that I am not myself
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.27.13)
18. Rahm Emanuel
Anshel ,   Canada   (10.27.13)
So was an Irgun fighter the father of former Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. His influence on Obama was the opposite you would expect from a son of the Irgun fighter. Same goes for Livni, she is more attuned to Washington as to the reality on the ground. As long Abbas is trying to drum up support for boycott of Israel and publicly declaring that there will Judenrein Palestine (like the Nazi Germany was supposed to be, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Holland, France, etc.. he cannot and should not be partner, simple as ABC. Why it is that the Jews even today still have to bow their heads, it is the old shtetl mentality that remained within Livni. The Israeli electorate did not give five her the mandate to behave the way she does. Peace negotiations should be in any event conducted by a foreign minister and Netanyahu should appoint someone worthy of that important position at once.
19. She may have an amazing pedigree
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.28.13)
Which is all the more reason to pity Ms. Livni for having so completely lost her way. She is, of course, entitled to her point of view. She is not, however, entitled to drag Israel under due to her delusional vision that peace with someone who is sworn to your eradication can ever be possible.
20. Prisoner release
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.27.13)
Was a government decision. It was not Livni's decision alone. Habayit Hayehudi is also part of the government and must accept the responsibility for that decision along with all of the other members of the government.
21. so bennet should incite against Netanyahu??!!!
rube vogel ,   jerusalem   (10.27.13)
...instead of Livni because such incitement could lead to a political assassination?? This article is simply ridiculous as written.
22. I love Naomi Shemer's songs.
Israeli 2   (10.27.13)
Most Israeli songs describe nature and its surroundings. They are romantic and peaceful. Almost all songs up until the 1970's I adore. I am all for peace - a true peace. Even my so called pride I may relinguish for peace, but I am not ready to sacrifice my honor and body and dignity for that peace. This is what Livni is doing, Eitan. Zionist or not, she is dishonoring all Israelis with Bibi's backing. They are reducing us to the garbage that they are.
23. 2.
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.27.13)
There should & must be hysteria about releasing terrorists with blood on their hands.
24. Livni has no influence. No one cares about it
aaa   (10.28.13)
Haber columns are silly. Livni's party has almost no influence in the coalition, and therefore no one really cares about Livni. Did you see demonstrations against Livni, Mr. Haber? Of course not. No one pays attention to her.
25. Political Assasination of Naphtali Bennet
Anne Leslie ,   Aberdeen, UK   (10.27.13)
Tzipi Livni is acting like she is the Saviour of Israel. At least Naphtali Bennett is standing up for the Israeli's & Israel. If Tzipi Livni ia a "zionist" what does that leave for the rest of us. Your article calling for the political assasination of Naphtali Bennet is a disgrace. The rest of the government is committing political suicide.
26. #5 wrong
(10.27.13)
Livni is not anti-Zionist, she is simply a greedy failure. Left to her own talent, she would be unemployed, but she found she could sell herself and be someone. She joined the corrupt Sharon for a bribe. She supported the corrupt Olmert for a bribe. Then she negotiated the end of the Lebanon II war in such a way that Hezbollah emerged stronger than ever, making her responsible for thousands of dead in Syria.
27. Livni has no mandate to speak for Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.28.13)
Likud rejected Livni. Kadima rejected Livni. Israel resoundingly rejected Livni and her pathetic new party in the last election. Livni has no mandate whatsoever to speak for Israel. Livni endangers Israel and sane Israelis are more than entitled to save our sole tiny Homeland by exposing the great danger Livni poses to Israel. Livni is one of the worst politicians Israel has ever known. The poster who described this horrid article as encouraging the assassination of Bennett is absolutely correct.
28. The majority of Israeli Citizens agree with Bennett.
Jerusalemite   (10.28.13)
The vast majority of Israeli Jews are against this terrorist release. We are living in times of appeasement to evil. Political Correctness only seems to matter when its someone from the right wing who speaks up. When its someone from the left or a Muslim Extremist the democratic world says nothing. The sad thing is that the Palestinian leadership and system incite against Jews and Israel on a regular basis and support attacks against Israelis when they feel like it. Abbas is not even the elected leader for years already and all the Palestinian charters still call for violence and don't recognize Israels right to exist. Their leaders often call or support violence against Israeli civilians and they have not really done anything towards peace. The interesting thing is that most Israeli Jews would agree to a 'peace agreement' if they thought that there would actually be peace.
29. Sentencing
RJE ,   Adelaide, Australia   (10.28.13)
Could someone please give some information on sentences for murder in general throughout Israel. In the West, 25 years is usually considered sufficient, so the release of these Palestinians doesn't look all that generous from a Western perspective. Also, prisoner release was made in return for the abandonment of prosecution for war crimes against Israel. Compromise is often painful but anything is better than war.
30. Eitan Haber and the far lefts ship doesnt stink apparently
hipocrates ,   earth   (10.28.13)
Incitement? Really? 1) is it any diifferent than incititement from the left by media and by MKs denouncing the right? 2) what about the left's policies that take the rights lifestyle hostage by allowing free reign for terrorists to operate and throw rocks at moving cars at high speed? daily? 3) How about the left's policies that have resulted in 10s of thousnds of murdered and injured lives? How about that incitement. as usual the far left only has a big mouth full of hypocrisy. Their incitement is far far worse, people get murdered as a result.
